16. And Jacob begat Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom was born Jesus, who
is called Christ.

17. So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations;
and from David until the carrying away into Babylon are fourteen generations;
and from the carrying away into Babylon unto Christ are fourteen generations.

18. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary
was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of
the Holy Ghost.

19. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a
publick example, was minded to put her away privily.

20. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord
appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to
take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy
Ghost.

21. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for
he shall save his people from their sins.

22. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the
Lord by the prophet, saying,

23. Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and
they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

24. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had
bidden him, and took unto him his wife:

25. And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he
called his name JESUS.
